Thread: Lets look forward to 1.18

People have just been starved for content since like... October. Anything would have been better than nothing

How can I look forward to a new patch when all the others promised to have real content but ended up being minor changes that most people do not like? What I want to know is why they didn't ask the community if they wanted mutant mobs the size of King Kong before implementing that? Also, we answered two player polls. None of the questions on those polls have been addressed in any patch.

Why waste customers times and expectations by creating pretend polls that they will not even use to get busy on the work that players really want? How many times are people going to believe SE and then be let down by them when the patch rolls out? What makes me smh is that after the game has been given to Yoshi P, all that has changed about this game is a few minor changes.

This game is in critical condition. It needs content NOW, not later. I'm laughing that people actually think that 1.18 will have any of the stuff that was mention before it rolls out. Expect the worse, don't lie to yourself anymore.

What where they promising for the patches prior?
The biggest thing we voted for was the lack of in game content followed by a change to the battle system. It has been explained that before they can move on to large changes in content, the fundamental change of the battle system must be addressed first. They have been planing dungeons and the new system for a long time and have released many side quests (what we asked to be implemented first) between then and now. Good strong content takes a lot of time to plan and implement and throughout that time Japan has suffered through a plethora of issues that have hurt squares production. As far as being in "critical condition", It doesn't really matter how many people they loose at this point if they can get more people later. It's not like they'll loose any more money from it, they're not charging us.

• Intital Battle Changes

On top of this there will probably be a bunch more side quests, and most likely another targeting tweak (4th times the charm?) But the point is that 1.18 is going to be the biggest patch released for the game so far, and soon we will forget that 1.17b ever happened.

Isn't this the problem? Many of the patches that have come and gone were supposed to be "the biggest patch released for the game so far" and none of them lived up to expectations. The game is in bad shape and one, two, ten patches won't make it ready.

I will be amazed if 1.18 has even half of the stuff you listed (which wasn't even much) and people will rage once again with SE lied/FFVIX is crap.

Things will fall into place in time, no need to keep up with the "next patch will solve everything" routine. A year or two might be too much to ask for but it is what the game will need.
